The new Estero location is one of 45 First Watch restaurants in the Sunshine State
First Watch Restaurants, Inc., the nation’s leading Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch concept, announced today the relocation of its decade-old restaurant in Bonita Springs. The restaurant on S. Tamiami Trail closed after business on Sunday, April 5, and will reopen Friday, April 10, at 22923 Lyden Drive in Estero as one of 45 First Watch restaurants in Florida.
The original Bonita Springs location on S. Tamiami Trail has been serving locals and tourists alike since its opening in 2005. The restaurant is moving, along with its staff, to a larger, 3,370-square-foot location about three miles north of the Bonita Springs location.
“We’ve been serving fresh breakfast, brunch and lunch in Bonita Springs for 10 exciting years,” said Chris Tomasso, chief marketing officer for First Watch. “Our lease in Bonita was up for renewal and we were presented with an opportunity to relocate to a nearby build-to-suit site with greater visibility, increased traffic counts and a larger overall footprint that will feature our new ‘urban farm’ interior design.”
The Estero location brings First Watch’s new restaurant design, which creates an atmosphere that combines the high energy of city life with comfortable farm elements that highlight our fresh approach to food that’s sure to make every guest feel at home.
First Watch will bring the same fresh approach to Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch to Estero with healthy, flavorful favorites like cage-free eggs, house-made granola and salsa, house-roasted vegetables and 100% fresh-squeezed orange juice. The restaurant will serve its exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee, which is made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America. The First Watch in Estero will also serve options from its new Fresh Juice Bar, freshly juiced in-house daily from only the finest fruits and vegetables.
First Watch serves its entire menu seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The restaurant also offers guests complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
